M0 64050 Preface Again it comes time to lock up within our memories a plethora of events that have been close to us during the past school year. It is with great pleasure that the Blue Jay accepts the responsibility as recolf lector and preserver of some of our most intimate associates and kindred memories. Although being hampered by time, We have tried to break with tradition and bring you a more inter' esting and enlightening yearbook. Coupled with a break in tradition we have ushered in several innovations which we feel will meet with your approval. ' - The primary objective of the Blue Jay Staff has been to create for you a book of foundations on which in later years you will be able to recollect and unify your memories of Westminster in a more meaningful Way. It is equally imperative that you, the reader, supplement and fill in between the lines with your imagination. Only with the equal acting forces of this book and your imagination will this book attain its true symmetry. , I personally Want to add that it has been my rich experience to edit this book. Recalling broken deadf lines, my introduction to insanity, and dispensary flings only bring back the most pleasureable thoughts. I Want to acknowledge assistance given to me which has been of immeasurable value in producing the book. Others than those on the staff who have given their assistance are Karl Pieper, John Silk, Bob Rubright, Charles Gusewelle, Gene Jacobson, Otis Young, Larry Morgan, Don Peters, and Dick Smith.

Kappa Alpha Page 36 fi 1 Activities :xNx 'l4 G f r' ici iii , i iiiii Fg fifif Qfiiiii Alpha Phi Omega Alpha Phi Omega is a national service fraternity composed of college men who are or have been aff filiated with the Boy Scouts of America. The purpose is to assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, to develop friendship and promote service to humanity. It renders service to the student body and faculty and to the nation as participating citizens. Being a service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega crosses all lines of honorary, social and professional fra' ternities, and members of other campus organizations may also be active in this fraternity. In fact it seeks the cooperation of other organizations to broaden the scope of service. Alpha Psi Omegamjahherwoclky The organizations of Alpha Psi Omega and Jabberwocky have again done outstanding service for both Westminster and William Woods Colleges. They began their successful season by presenting, with draf matic students from William Woods, the play, The Glass Mountain, which won high acclaim among the Fulton critics. This was followed shortly by the equally excellent presentation of Dream Girl which went over in a big way. This year also saw what was possibly the most superb accomplishment of either organization in recent years. Under the able direction of Herbert Joys and through the combined efforts of the men and women of the two colleges, the Greek play Antigone was produced. The scene took place in front of the Helen' istic columns of Westminster's campus, achieving such authentic atmosphere that one halffway expected to see the white walls of the Parthenon rising in the background. - With this latter production Alpha Psi Omega and Jabberwocky concluded ,another successful season. Authors Anonymous A Authors Anonymous, the literary clique for creative genius, has concluded one more brilliant year of cultural contribution. Once a month this intellectual organization has convened to unveil the manuscripts which are destined to shroud Hemingway, Mailer, and Maughn in the sorrow of defeat, abject and complete. Alternating between the chateaux de Messrs. Bleifuss and Randolph, who acted as sponsors and hosts, the prolific brothers in the bond of the pen continued to maintain the standards of excellence so lauded by the thousands of loyal readers. A proud testimony to the equality of man, the organization deigned to elect no officers, thus allowing all of its members to come together monthly on an equal basis. The difficulty may be easily seen of selecting, from among the many masters of short story and verse, one man to stand alone as representative of the group. It is with the pride of accomplishment that this assembly of eminent aesthetics and rabble rousers sigh, lean back in their wicker chairs, light their Indian water pipes, and survey the achievements' of the year just past.

Blue jay After having been faced with the difficulty of having to change. editors at midfyear due to the original editor, joel Chetlain, leaving school, the Blue jay was transmuted into its present form through the resolute efforts of Dave Hart, the subsequent editor. His encouragement, assistance, and threats resulted in the assignments being fulfilled andthe deadlines met. Supplying Editor Hart withvthe necessary funds was the task of Christ Mangos, business manager. Departmental editors were: Otis E. Young, class and features, Wike Scamman, activities, and Tom Davis, sports. Bill Christensen and Roland Vizgird handled much of the photographic work. The working of these men and their supervision of the rest of the staff helped Dave Hart achieve his goal of getting the yearbook out on time in spite of any hindrances that might be encountered. Chi Alpha Omega Chi Alpha, the national prefChristian service fraternity on the Westminster Campus, has had a year filled with activities. The group is made up of those students attending college prior to entering the Chris- tian Ministry. Throughout the year the group takes on various projects for helping themselves and the college. This year some of the more recent religious books were discussed and reviewed at the bifmonthly meetings. The group has-also had several interesting and wellfknown speakers at their meetings. Members of Chi Alpha have also aided the chapel director in the worship programs at Westminster. The faculty advisor is Dr. Gates. The Columns The Columns, published bifweekly, was considered one of the most progressive college newspapers in the state. The paper won comment from many sources for its attempt to tackle almost any matter pertinent to the Westminster man's interest. The Columns adhered strictly to a policy which stressed the Westminster student first. The editorials sought to place all world and national events in a relationship to campus life. Wherever possible, the paper took a definite stand, not desiring to be criticized for not exercising its right of press freedom-a right which many college newspapers still find latent. During the first semester the Columns was produced under the cofeditorship of Jack Marshall and Bob Rubright. During the second semester, however, Bob Rubright handled the task himself as Editor' infchief. The Columns staff was not a large one. Needless to say, the inevitable corps of interested journalists edited all the copy. If work on the paper provided nothing at all, it offered to many of its department editors experience in tolerance. The paper underwent a slow process of streamlining. Slug lines were torn out, boxes were discarded, and pictures and plates doubled. It was the hope of the staff not to completely modify the traditional Col- umns but to open the road for muchfneeded improvement and renovation. Page 40 17? Top: BLUE JA Y-Front row: Spencer, D.

Eta sigma Phi The Beta Eta chapter of Eta Sigma Phi completed another year of intellectual classical study-its thirteenth since its establishment on the Westminster campus in 1940. Eta Sigma Phi is a national organizaf tion composed of students of Greek and Latin. These scholars delve into the past for a more intense study of the classic literature and life. Dr. Hoerber, the sponsor, led the discussion in most instances and outsiders were always welcome to partake of the knowledge expounded. Don Gish served as president of this honof rary organization. Gamma Alpha, Another successful year was completed by Gamma Alpha, the Westminster Sociological fraternity. This organization promotes fellowship and presents topics of thought for those men who are interested in the Held of Sociology. Gamma Alpha took several educational trips during the course of the year. One was to the State Mental Hospital in Fulton, and another was to the State Prison in Jefferson City. r ' Delegates Busch and Cross attended the MidfWest Sociology Convention at Omaha, Nebraska, in April. Under the guidance of Dr. Alexander, the faculty advisor, Gamma Alpha has accomplished, many things this year and promises to become even stronger in the forthcoming years due to the interest shown by many of its undergraduate members. joe Moseley was the president and Bill Cross was the secretaryftreasurer of the organization. Glee Club The Westminster Glee Club has again done a paramount job in the assignment of representing Westf minster to the public. Under the capable leadership of Director Donald E. Stout, they began the season by combining with the William Woods College Glee Club to perform the beautiful pageantry of the annual Christmas Vespers. Their next accomplishment was to extend a helping hand to the Fulton Kiwanis Club in presenting a minstrel show which proved to be a great success from all aspects. Spring found the Glee Club in pilgrimage to Lindenwood and MacMurray Colleges for concert. Here they were well received and their music left a universal impression of magnificence. As a final note to a grand season the Glee Club presented their Spring Concert in May. Through the combined efforts of all, this event upheld in fine form the tradition of Westminster College.

Dog,' Lamkin, the Honorable Order of Hereditary Marshals of Westminster College came into existence. This society was founded on November 27, 1959, composed of thirdfgeneration men. Their duties are to participate as ushers at Commencement, Christmas Vespers, addresses by prominent speakers, Green Lectures, and in the installation of fraternity chapters. The Hereditary Marshals are comprised of three ranks which depend on the member's ancestral college history. The members which belong to the first rank are either sons or grandsons of men who have graduf ated from Westminster. The second rank includes those whose uncles or cousins attended Westminster. Those students who have had more distant relatives constitute the third rank. The only link between the students of today and the college men of yesteryear are the Hereditary Marshals. This society is only one of the many traditions that Westminster College holds dear. lnterzlfiraternity Couneil An outstanding characteristic of the Westminster Campus is its strong fraternity system. It consists of eight fraternities, seven wellfknown Greek nationals, and one local. Each of these has two men serving on the Interfliraternity Council. One of the members is always the president of the organization he repref sents. The officers for the year were: Dean Macris, president, John Klein, secretary, and Otis E. Young, treasurer. ' Campus unity and a mutual purpose for Westminster and the fraternities are the primary goals of the InterfFraternity Council. Throughout the year the council membefs have displayed a keen understanding of fraternal living, and by their conscientious endeavors have taken commanding strides in campus leadership. This leadership is particularly evident at the beginning of each semester when the newly arrived rushees are greeted by a formal rush week. Typical of the many activities of the Council is the i'Freshman Hand' book, which is designed to acquaint the prospective fraternity man with Westminster, the fraternities, and the campus traditions. llnternational Relations Club For students interested in international affairs and in furthering the interest of other students, ample opportunity is provided by the I.R.C. Since a few years after World II when it was founded, it has sponf sored men from nations all over the world to speak. These speakers afford a deep insight for the students into the feelings and attitudes of people from other nations. It has been the good fortune of the college to have in its student body several students from China and Germany. The I.R.C. wasted no time in taking advantage of their presence by having them speak in its monthly meetings. Rather than limit the opportunity of learning about foreign affairs to Westminster students, the I.R.C. invited William Woods College students to attend the more important meetings. The officers were: George Elliott, president, Mike Tchoukaleff, vicefpresidentg and Jack Swan, secref taryftreasurer. Dr. March served as advisor.

It was founded in 1935 under the leader' ship of the late Dean Sweazey, who derived its name from the word MfAfTfI'Ifematics. The field of mathematics is too broad to cover in the standard college curriculum. For those students who are interested in branching out and learning something of the areas that are not touched in the regular curriculum, Mu Alpha Theta has been established. Any student who has entered or has completed a course in analytical geometry is welcome to become a member. This organization was sponsored by Dr. Sloss. Music Club The Music Club, under the sponsorship of Dr. Felix Sharton, completed a sixth successful year on the Westminster campus. The meetings of this organization usually consist of an hour of classical selections from the school's record library. Accompanying each selection are brief impromptu and informative ref marks by Dr. Sharton. All that is required of the members is that they be willing to listen, and if what they hear fails to please them, they are urged to bring their own favorite records to the following meetings. In addition to furnishing many pleasant and interesting hours of listening, the club keeps students inf formed of musical events here and in nearby towns. In a college having no music department, the Music Club feels that it serves a definite need and is of great value to the students. Cmicron Delta Kappa Omicron Delta Kappa, better known simply as ODK, is an honorary society whose purpose is to recoga nize the accomplishments of juniors and seniors in fields of leadership, athletics, scholarship, and service to the school. The group at Westminster, designated the Alpha Tau Circle, received its charter in 1935. To become eligible for membership a student must have participated in many of the campus activities, shown extraordinary leadership ability, and must have maintained a good scholarship average. Being a national leadership fraternity, the group sponsors and handles many projects on the campus throughout the school year. In the fall the group edits the buzzfbook, a student directory. The society also cooperates in helping to handle and organize any major campus activity. Its largest project is the sponf soring of the Mother's Day InterfFraternity Song Contest, in which all fraternities participate for top singing honors. f Officers for 195253, were Bill McCue, president, and Professor Don Gordon, secretary.

Phi Alpha Thetammwestminster Historical Society Phi Alpha Theta, the largest honorary fraternity in the United States, installed its Westminster chapter in IQSO. It is thus one of the newest and smallest groups on campus. Requirements for initiation include junior class standing, twelve hours of history with a Q0 average and an 88 average in all other courses. Mem' bers this year were jack Swan, presidentg Dan Craig, Dave Fischer, Irvin Smith, Karl Pieper, john Barry, John Mooneyham, and Vern Michaelson. The Westminster Historical Society, of which any student can be a member, operates in conjunction with Phi Alpha Theta in presenting various programs throughout the year. Two of the outstanding features this year were the annual banquet when Dr. Dudley T. Cornish of Kansas State Teachers College spoke, and the address by MacMillan Lewis, nationally known author, historian, and authority on Woodrow Wilson. Officers were, first semester, Dan Craig, president, Ray Roberts, vicefpresidentg John Barry, secretary, Jack Swan, treasurer, second semester, Steve Adamson, president, David Hart, vicefpresidentg Trigg Callis secretary, and Ray Roberts, treasurer. 5 Phi Rho Epsilon The year 1952f53 was one of the most outstanding years of Phi Rho Epsilon since its founding on the campus in IQ34. The membership consisting of zz active members is one of the largest in the history of the organization. To qualify for membership into this organization a student must have at least a junior stand' ing, be a biology major, have taken a course in comparative anatomy, and have a general scholastic average of at least 88. 'Phi Rho, as it is popularly known, meets every other Thursday to read and discuss papers prepared by the members on some subject in the field of biology. These meetings are most valuable and act as an inspiring supplement to the regular prefmedical training. The organization has been very fortunate to have as its able director Dr. C. D. Day, who has sponsored the organization since its beginning. This year's oflicers included: Merle Jacobs, president, Dick Craig, secretaryftreasurerg and Gene Collins, alumni secretary. Pi Delta. Epsilon Encouraging participation and interest in the college publications is the goal of Pi Delta Epsilon, the national honorary collegiate journalism fraternity at Westminster College. Membership in the organization is conferred upon those members of the student body who have contributed to a high degree of service and of their ability to their publications and to the college. The Westminster chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon was installed in April, 1951, prior to the annual West' minster journalism banquet. The national oflicers of the fraternity conduct each year an editorial and news story contest which is open to all students enrolled at a college with a chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon. Cash prizes are awarded. Oficers of the chapter were: Bob Rubright, president, Al Meyer, vicefpresidentg and Richard Smith, secretaryftreasurer.

Other highlights of the year included a debate on the Westminster Campus with a team from Cambridge University in England. The topic was, Resolved, that the American Rebellion should be suppressed. Pi Kappa Delta itself is the national honorary speech fraternity on the campus. The senior debate team, composed of Karl Pieper and Otis Young, attended the national convention in April, and also the National debate tournament held in conjunction with the convention. There they were voted the top team from Missouri. Steve Adamson and Dr. Randolph, the debate coach, also attended the tournament. Steve entered in the discussion groups. A Skulls of Seven The Society of the Skulls of Seven, organized during the fall of 1898, and originally an association for the promotion of .college loyalty and good fellowship, has grown through the years to become both they protector and prelector of the traditions and landmarks of the college. The Skulls of Seven have taken an active part in the beautifying and landscaping ofthe college campus by planting appropriate shrubs and trees. The Society has been responsible for the erection of the bronze tablets commemorating the Truman' Churchill visit, for the stained glass windows in the chapel, and the World War II tablets. The Skulls of Seven have charge of the conduction of the ceremonial exercises at commencement, and also conduct freshman orientation and instruction in the traditions of the college. ' The Society is selffperpetuating, one representative from every house on campus being chosen in Feb' ruary and serving for a year. The men who are selected for an introduction into the mysteries of the Skulls are usually second semester juniors who have distinguished themselves in their devotion to the college and activities in its behalf. V Student Couneil The Student Council of 195253, composed of the presidents and council representatives of each of the fraternities plus the president of the student body, has done an outstanding job. Advised by Dr. John W. Randolph and having as its main oflicers Karl Pieper, president of the student body and of the Council, and David Hetzler, secretary, the Council initiated the construction of the college Student Union as its most important accomplishment. In another instance the Council formulated and carried out, in conjunction with the students of William Woods College, plans for a charity carnival. Receipts for this successful affair were donated to the Heart Fund and the Callaway Hospital Fund. In the further conduct of student affairs, the Student Council showed excellent judgment and proved to be one of which the college can be proud.

The members of the club, a great many of them under' classmen, have sponsored during the school year just past, such notable events as the Westminster Home' coming and the spring banquet. This banquet is for the purpose of making awards to graduating seniors and team captains for their contribution to Westminster's athletics during their years here. Included in the other functions of the Club are ofliciating at intramural athletic contests, parf ticularly the Dad's Day track meet, and selling programs at the varsity basketball games. Charlie Collins served the HW Club as its president this year and handled the affairs of his oflice in fine fashion. It is with regret that we say goodby to the graduating athletes and with admiration that we encourage the younger ones to carry on the Westminster tradition throughout their college years. Chemistry Club The Westminster Chemistry Club is an alias for its complete nomen which is the 'LWestminster Section of Student Affiliates with the American Chemical Society. To maintain a goal comparable to this superlaf tive name, the organization has as its purpose the presentation of the practical and theoretical aspects of chemical science to those who intend to make it their career. This organization has been out of existence for several years but was again organized under the super' vision and sponsorship of Drs. Gaddis and Von Wicklin. Work was resumed by the members as if there had been no previous discontinuance of the club. Y, M., c. . U To promote closer fellowship among Westminster students, to create a spirit of friendly competition on the campus, and to aid in building a liner spiritual life for each man-these are the purposes of Y.M.C.A. Among the accomplishments of this organization during the past year has been the furthering of good will towards the town people by treating the less fortunate children from Hopkinsville to several Sunday afternoon parties. The members received much enjoyment in giving these parties and the children appref ciated them immensely. , The oflicers for the year were J. A. Orton, president, and Carleton Riddick, secretary-treasurer. Page 52 i XA! TOP? s'W CLUBfFTOHI vow: Pfeifler, Hoffman, Gusewelle, Collins, Chetlain, Waeltz. Back Tow: Torno, D.

Washington Semester JOHN BARRY JIM FILLING VERN MrcHAELsoN JOHN MOONBYHAM Afternoons in the Senate Gallery, visits to the various governmental agencies, meetings with govern- ment ofiicials, the Cherry Blossom Festival, and numerous other happenings in Washington, D. C., kept the four above men busy during the Spring Semester of 1953. john Barry, Jim Filling, Vern Michaelson, and John Mooneyham, were the four juniors chosen by the college to represent Westminster in the Washington Semester Program. Under an interfinstitutional program between Westminster and the American University in Washington, four men from our junior class are chosen each year to study in the nation's capital. The men spend one semester in Washington living on the campus of the American University, attending seminar meetings at such places as the Department of State, Supreme Court, Federal Trade Commission, Library of Congress, etc., taking classes in the American Uni' versity night school, and preparing an individual research paper on some phase of governmental operations. A firstfhand glimpse of Washington at work is given to the participants in this program, who are also afforded an opportunity to enjoy the many interesting facets of unofhcial Washington life and to make some side trips to the nearfby points of interest. r Westminster participates in the program along with Allegheny College, Kenyon College, Wooster College, Hiram College, Oberlin College, Willamette University, Hollins College, Beloit College, and the American University. A similar grouping of schools participates in the program during the fall semester of each year. i ' Page 54 V s p O r t S gil? I 5' VM 5 ML 53 HWS 3935 MVS 4 4 1 , ,.

The main handicap of the Blue Jays was lack of experienced college ball players. Bill Cross, Bob Stufllebam, and Dag Stringer, who was out early in the season with a hand injury, were the only returning lettermen, however the strong showings of Win Stringer, Don Miller, and Dave Steinmeyer plus the fact that the entire squad will return next season shows bright prospects for the future. The squad this year consisted of two juniors, three sophomores, and four freshmen. A new experience for the Blue Jay team this year although not a very profitable one was the trip to the Sunshine Tournament during the Christmas vacation. This tournament, held at Portales, New Mexico, is one of the most popular in this area. Since all expenses are paid by the tournament the teams are very carefully chosen. The Blue Jays although not victorious in a game, were a favorite with the crowd and received an invitation to participate next year. Bill Cross, Blue Jay center, received an individual award from the tournament being elected to the allftourney team. A In conference play the Jays did not fare so well, winning two of their first five, but then losing seven in succession. All of the games were fairly well played but because of the new foul rule there was little chance for rallies near the end of the games. Perhaps the lack of experience had some effect on this slump, but with nine returning lettermen next fall, there should be a different story. Head Coach EUGENE F. KIMBRELL Westminster and W.W.C.

Thirteen games were scheduled this year, including such respected clubs as Quincy College, Rockhurst, Buena Vista of Iowa, William Jewell, Culver Stockton, and Central. Coach Bob Norwine usually Helded the following: Chuck Barber, IB, Bob Strano, 2B, Dave Steinmeyer, 3B, Hank Hokamp, SS, Bruce Bronson, LF, Bob Koupal, CF, Bob Hoffman, RF, Bill Ross, C, Don Parks, Dick Lemler, and Ken Bradley, Pitchers. Utility men were Jack Kelly, Dave Newman, and Bill Hunsicker. Westminster's hitting this year showed great improvement, with Bob Hoffman leading the way. The infield showed improved batting also, but left something to be desired in regard to nelding. In the overall picture this year's team showed distinct improvement.

The Jay thinclads showed outstanding improvement in the track events this year, although the loss of several key men may impair the performance in the field. In the dashes Harry Torno and Don Miller, the latter a freshman, have been consistent winners. In the middle distances Dick Fischer, Don Hull, and Stan Zydlo have scored. Westminster's distance run' ners are Erich Borchsenius and john Gahan. The field team is composed of Lewis and Schaeffer, pole vault, Hedley and Lewis, high jump, Brown, shot put, Allen and Rollert, javeling Brenner, discus, and Scammon, broad jump. Hurdlers are Dave Baue and Don Miller. Page 60 rf Varsity Golf With only one returning letterman, the Blue Jays nevertheless went into the IQSB golf season with great expectations. Letterman Jim Osburn was aided by transferee Hank Hokamp, freshman Al Burgess and Tim Daley, and Dolph Bridgewater. The Jays were functioning smoothly as the season approached, and West' minster's golfers captured their first confer' ence championship in four years. In the con ference tournament Hokamp was second medal' Osbum, Bridgewater, Hokamp, Burgess, Daley ist, with the entire team shooting well. Our golfers acquired Westminster's only conference championship this year. Varsity Tennis Westminster's varsity tennis had a slow start this year, with postponements being prevalent. At this writ' ing the jay netmen had failed to win a match. The Jays have an impressive looking team, however, and a change in fortune is very probable. Occupying the top rung on the varsity ladder is Carle' ton Riddick, a freshman with an outstanding future on the courts. Second man is Bill Pfeifler, threefyear varsity man. The third, fourth and fifth positions are held down by John Gunn, Ray Baltzell, and Jack jefferson. Standing: Penzler, Gunn Kneeling: Riddiclgjefferson Page 61 Dadls Day Yearly on Dad's Day events are held in softball, golf, and tennis along with the intramural track meet. The fraternities are matched according to strength in standings during the intramural season, assuring more equal competition. At the end of these events the fraternity with the' best record is awarded the Dad's Day trophy. A For the second consecutive year Delta Tau Delta was the recipient of this award, by virtue of winning all three of their contests and then sweeping to victory in the track meet. Sigma Alpha Epislon won all three of their events, but managed only a sixth place in the track meet. The upset of the day occurred when the Delts upset the Beta's champion softball team, knocking the Dragons out of Dad's Day competition.

Page 62 llntrainural Softball Stierberger, Granai, Koupal, Ross, Scammon, Rollert, Bradley, Miller, Hoffman For the second consecutive season, the Dragons of Beta Theta Pi swept up the LM softball plaque. Led by sophomore pitcher John Adams, the Betas waited until the last game of the season to clinch the title, when they stopped the Phi Delts. Second place was shared by three teams, Phi Delta Theta, Delta Tau Delta, and Phi Gamma Delta, all with five and two records. Phi Gamma Delta kept the race from ending in a tie for first by stopping the Delts on the same last day that saw the Betas emerge victorious. Outstanding players this year include Adams and Bob Hoffman, Beta, Ken Whitehead, Bob Strano, and Al Gunderson, Deltsg Dave Baue, Phi Gam, Don Peters and Don Ehrhardt, Sigma Chi, Henry Hokamp and Jim Baker, Phi Deltg and Art Chandler, Sig Alph. The fierceness of the season is evident, with no team being undefeated, although the well rounded Beta squad absorbed only one loss, as they annexed the 1952755 softball title. Page as Tennis Left to right: Garaicoa, Haynes, Riddick, Penzler Beta Theta Pi breezed through tennis competition this season, finishing undefeated. Beta squad men were Doug Haynes, Carleton Riddick, Frank Garaicoa, and Don Penzler. Second place Went to Phi Gamma Delta, led by Dave Baue, while Delta Tau Delta and Kappa Alpha were tied for third place. The race was actually never questionable, as the Betas only dropped one set in competition, that one being salvaged by the Delts. The Beta team consisted of one sophomore and three freshmen, but while the team was youthful it did not lack experience or ability. The third pace Delts were placed by John Gunn and Bruce Bronson, while Bill Cross and Vern Michael- son led the K.A.'s to a tie for third. Handball Undefeated in season play, Beta Theta Pi siezed the 195253 handball plaque. Led by Wally Busch and Mario Granai, with Don Penzler playing third man the Beta Dragons stopped all comers. Serious competition was offered by Delta Tau Delta, with Bill McCue playing first man, and the Sig Alphs with Jack Spangenberg, who proved to be one of the top players on campus. Missing from last year are several outf standing handball players, which tended to tighten the race. The Beta combination, how' ever, proved suiiiciently strong to give them the plaque in a very successful year. Bush, Granai, Penzler Page 64 ff Swimming ,gg an Left to right: Henry, Hoffman, Bachman, Koupal Beta Theta Pi, as was expected, splashed through seven straight swimming meets to annex the 195253 crown. With Bob Watkins, Dave Beckemeier, John Mooneyham, and Dick Bachman in the lead the Dragons took swimming honors for the second straight year, edging out Kappa Alpha's six and one record. Top swimmers for the runnerfup K.A.'s were Bill Cross, Harry Torno and Tolly Kirkland. Delta Tau Delta, led by Martin, MacLeod, and Allen, took third place with a five and two record. For the lower finishers Larry Morgan, Phi Delt, and Dave Newman, Sigma Chi, were outstanding. Bowling The 195263, bowling plaque was garnered by Phi Delta Theta. The Phis dropped only one meet all season, that to Delta Tau Delta. Leading the Phi bowlers to victory were Henry Hokamp, Mike Ayers, Ron Brown, Chuck Barber, and Larry Morgan. The race was in question until the last day of the season when the Phis beat Beta Theta Pi. Other outstanding bowlers on the campus were Bob Steele, KA, Ken Bradley, Beta, Haynes Malone, Phi Gam, Stan Brenner, Delta Tau Delta, and Harry Heldmyer, Sigma Chi. Page 65 Track Left to right: Bronson, MacLeod, Steinmeyer, Denner, Fischer, Stufllebam, Strano Delta Tau Delta continued their domination of intramural track this year. Scoring points in all but one event the Delts gained 71 to beat out second place Beta Theta Pi's 6o points. Third place went to Kappa Alpha with 40M points. Top performance of the day was turned in by Beta's Joe Chetlain who tied the two mile record of rr:18.g. Other standouts were Don Miller, Beta, and Dick Fischer, Delt, in the dashes, Eric Borchsenius, KA, and Bob Stufllebam, Delt, in the distances, Ron Brown, Phi Delt, in the discus and shot, Howard Lewis, Phi Delt, and Wike Scammon, Beta, in the pole vault, Don Hull, KA, and Bill McCue, Delt, in the 880. Golf Delta Tau Delta, led by Lee Denner, Jerry Sandin, Ken Whitehead, and Al Burgess, marched to the 19525 5 intramural golf plaque. Despite the tight competition, the Delts were undefeated this year. Close behind the Delts were Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta, the two ending the season in a tie for second place. Leading the Phi Delts were Trigg Callis and Henry Hokamp, while Dolph Bridgewater led the Beta golf team. Page 66 Baslcetlball Manager Jacobs Front row: Stevens, Pfeifler, Spangenberg.

Dr. Malik has served on some of the most important committees in the United Nations and has made a large conf tribution to world affairs. He gave a series of three lectures on April 16 and 17. DR. MALIK Veeclk Visits Campus No doubt one of the most popular speakers to visit the Westminster Campus this year was Bill Veeck, owner of the St. Louis Browns. Mr. Veeck spoke in the weekly college conf vocation and throughout his talk he poked fun about his baseball team, but in the end he pref dicted that the Browns would finish no lower than fourth this baseball season. As usual, Veeck was full of jokes and he kept the crowd in a constant laughing mood. Page 79 BILL VEECK Westminster Reeeiyes New Student Center Through the cooperative effort of the Student Counf cil and the college administration, Westminster now has its own new Student Center. This project began last fall at the opening of school and has continued through this year. It was formally opened and dedicated on Wednesday, March 9. The new Student Center is located in the basement of the chapel which formerly held the old Westminster Library. The basement has been completely redecorated and painted, a snack bar has been installed and the book store is now also located in the Student Center. The new Blue Jay office has been located in the Stu' dent Center and more plans are being made so as to make this Student Center the real center of activities at West' minster. A lounge room is being set up at present so that the various campus organizations will have a place to meet and to have social gatherings. What other possif bilities may be in store for the new enterprise remains to be seen. Pg80 Pg6'l Fraternitie fll A ' f r f .'.: .'

The historic traditions of Westminster College were enriched when Delta Omicron was chart' ered, for she trumpted traditions, those of her legacy: scholarship, moral fiber, social standing and the release on the campus of the deter' mined success of its membership to pour into the many clubs that grace the pages of the Blue Jay. The vigor and vitality of Delta Omicron is likewise revealed in the physical side of college life for the varsity teams know well our power. The intramural track championship, Dad's Day trophy and Intramural Supremacy trophy lend evidence for such an appraisal. To Westminster College, which will some day give to each its reward for these years of achievement, we willingly and gladly lend full support.

The Highlanders along with their growth have always stressed Westminster. The Laddies through their organization push both their fraternity and their school. This year, as in the traditional past, the Highlanders presented their annual Harvest Party, Christmas Formal and Spring Formal along with many costume parties. Also in intramurals this year the Laddies have fielded five teams which have displayed the hustle which is charf acteristic of them.

It was the third fraternity to make up the wellfknown i'Miami Triad. The Delta Tau Chapter was installed on the Westminster Campus November Io, 1949. Since that date it has enjoyed the benefits of a well established chapter through its excellent organization and closely knitted brotherhood. Just in the last year the chapter settled down to its permanent ground and plans are to build in the near future. Ac' claiming itself very well, the chapter has remodeled, added, and re- vamped its setting to put it to the best possible use. Since its establishment on the campus, Sigma Chi has contributed many capable leaders to campus activities and sports.

That is what the fraternity men at Westminster say. Our housemothers are the ladies who see to it that Westmiiister is a place where men are gentlemen. And are the housemothers overlooked around here? Never. The housemother, brightest face on fraternity row, has more responsibility than the bulk of fraternity officers.

EssEN WILLIAM H. WRIGHT THOMAS LANSCHE Westminster has suffered a great loss in the death of five students in automobile accidents during this college year. These men were our friendsg and we shall miss them. They were young men of future promf iseg and tomorroW's world will be the poorer for their loss. To their families we give this sincere assurf F l ance of our deep sympathy in their bereavement and of the affectionate regard with which We shall always remember these men of Westminster. Not pictured: Kenton Cravens and Bruce Lloyd. l l Page U7 Piaisst Field Sixteen apartment units at the northeast corner of Priest Field provide the married stu' dents with comfortable, economic, and ample living quarters. The renovated Navy quarters of the World War II provide for the community of young married couples an excellent opporf tunity for the Westminster student to continue his education while at the same time assuming the responsibilities of a family. Life on the field is never dull, thanks to bridge parties for the girls and stags for the men. Many students feel close to these families because they always find a welcome hand at the gate. Extra parties of their own and others to supplement fra' ternity formals and others make their life very gay and beneficial.
